CONSIDERING the variety of Spelling Books already 
before the publick, some apology may be expected for at- 
tempting to add this to their number ; but, as the author 
does not intend at this time to investigate the merits, or 
enumerate the defects, of those now in use, he ha? only 
to state, that, from a considerable experience in teach- 
ing, he has observed several inconveniences in the use of 
all with which he has been acquainted ; and that, to obviate 
these, and to present the publick with an Elementary 
Work, at once copious^ comprehensive, perspicuous, and 
systeoiatick, he has been induced to make the following 
compilation. 

The plan of the woik, it is believed, is entirely new, 
and from observation, the author is led to conclude, that 
it is the most simple and natural method that has been 
adopted. 

In the execution, no pains have been spared to render 
the performance complete. 

The mode of pronunciation is such, that the sounds of 
all the vowels, accented, and unaccented, are given with 
as much precision as they could be by Walker's meth- 
od. 

In selecting the reading lessons, the author has consid- 
ered that the book is for childien, and has chosen such 
subjects and language, as he thinks best adapted to 
their capacities. Schools are already well furnished 
with reading books suited t© the use of the more advanced 



PREFACE. 

pupils, for which reason, lessons in difficult reading have 
been avoided, that the work may be better fitted for the 
use of those, for whose benefit it is particularly designed. 

To adapt the work to the convenience of reading in 
classes (the more customary mode of reading in primary 
schools) the lessons are given in short sentences or verses, 
mid one half of each page is occupied with reading and 
©ne half with spelling lessons ) thus/orming as much contin- 
uity in each, as would be, were they in separate volames 5 
and thus is obviated a considerable inconvenience experi- 
enced from detached lessons scattered throughout the book. 

One or two entire pages of reading have been inserted 
between most of the different grades of spelling, with a 
view to assist scholars in turning to their places. 

Through the whole it has been the Author's aim to form 
such an arrangement as might, at the same time, acceler- 
ate the progress of the learner, and alleviate the teachers 
task ; and with the most sincere desire for the improve- 
ment of the rising generation, and for their advancement 
in virtue, the work is presented to the publick* 

By their devoted servant, 

WILLIAM BOLLES. 

New-London^ Conn. October 1825, 



EXPLANATORY REMARKS. 

THE pronunciation of the words in the spelling lessons 
is pointed out by figures placed over the syllables contain- 
ing vowel sounds- 

When no figure or letter is placed over a syllable, the 
vowel in that syllable is not sounded, 

When one letter assumes the sound of another, the let- 
ter representing the assumed sound, is placed over the 
syllable. 

The figures or letters placed at the top of a line, show 
the sound of all the words in that line, unless contradicted 
by otheis. 

For the convenience of reference, there is placed at the 
top of each page, a key of all the sounds occurring in that 
page. 

KEY. 

Figure 1 } represents the sound of a as in fate, 

6 as in he. me, 
i as in pine, 
e as in no, 
u as in cube,. 

Figure 2 represents the st)und of a as in fat, 

e as in met r 
i as in pin, 
o as in not, 
u as in cub, 

Figure 3 represents the sound* of a as in hall, 

o as in nor, 
u as in full, 

Figure 4 represents the sound of a as in far, 

o as in raove^ 

figure 5 represents the sound of a as in bare. 



VI 



^ C and g in the Roaaan character sound hard, as in call, 
give ; in the back slope they have their soft sound as in 
eivily gentle. 

S bark slope sounds like z.

situations, when printed in the Roman character, it sounds 
like ks, in the back slope, likegz. *»*k 

Ch, Roman, sounds like tsh as in which ; back slope 
like k, as in chord ; small capitals, like sh, as in wza- 
chine. 

Gh when both sounded have usually the sound f. 

Th in Roman, sound as in thin, in the back slope, as in 
this.

When i, followed by another vowel begins an unaccent- 
ed syllable, it has the sound of y.

full sound like yu as in union, pasture*

If we are good we shall do no harm, 
For they that do harm are not good : 
The Lord loves them that do gGod ; 
And he will kefp them from all ill.

If we are good while we live, 
The Lord will take us when we die ; 
That where he is we may be too. 
The Lord loves them that love him.

Good boys and girls will not tell lies, 
They will speak the truth at all times ; 
They will not speak bad words 
Nor walk in the ways of sin ?

X. 
It is God that makes the sun to shine ; 
He sends the rain upon the earth; 
He made the sea and the dry land : 
The Lord is great, and he can do all things. 

XL 
We will not play with bad boys ; 
For they will learn us to be bad ; 
And then good boys will not love us, 
For they do not love bad bovs. 

XIL 

We must not hurt those with whom we play, 
For we do not want them to hurt us ; 
And we must do as we like to be done to : 
We must not spend too much time in play. 



•So 



XIII. 

We shall not live long in this world, 
But while we live we must do good, 
That when we die we may go to rest : 
For all that are on the earth shall die. 

XIV. 
The day will come, when all the dead shall rise 
And stand before the God of all the earth. 
And he will part the wicked from the good ; 
And he will drive the wicked from before his 

face. XV. 

But God will take the good to live with him ; 
And they shall live in joy, and die no more : 
For they shall not be sick any more, 
And they shall have no more pain. 

XVI. 
We must think of God at all times, 
Both when we work, and when we play ; 
When we go out, and when we come in. 
We will praise the Lord, for he is very kind, 

XVII, 
The days that are past will return no more ; 
Those to come, may not come to us ; 
The present time alone, we can call ours .; 
We must improve it as well as we can. 

XVIII. 
He must live well, that will die well. 
Be kind, and just, and true to all men. 
He that doth what good he can, 
Will gain the love of God and man. 

XlX. 
If we would be happy, we must be good ; 
If we try to be good, we shall surely be so. 
None, who are able to work, should be idle. 
A life well spent, makes old age pleasant.

XX. 

If we put our trust in God, he will keep us 
from all Harm. 

God knows what is best for us, and to him 
we must look for help. 

The Lord does not forget us, and we 
should not forget him. * 

The Lord sees us at all times, and we can- 
not hide from him. 

XXI. 

Trust in the Lord, and he will guide thee 
in the way of good men. 

If we pra}^ God with a pure heart, he will 
hear, and help us. 

If God be on our side, we need not fear 
what man can do unto us. 

All things work together for good, to them 
that love God. 

XXII. 

Youth is the best time to serve the Lord ; 
we may not live to be old. 

We are God's and he careth for us : why 
should we fear any evil ? 

It should be our first, and greatest care, to 
serve, and obey God. 

If we love him, we shall be careful to please 
him in all things. 

XXIII. 

There is but one God, the maker of all 
things, in heaven, and in earth. 

He is holy, just, and good ; he fills heaven 
and earth, with his wisdom, mercy, and truth. 

God will bless all good children, who love, 
and serve him, and who honour, and obey 
their parents.

A short description of a good boy. 

A good boy will do as he is bid, he will 
mind his book, and try to learn. 

He will always mind his parents, and love 
his brothers, and sisters. 

A good boy will always learn his lesson 
before he goes to play. 

He chooses the best boys when he goes to 
play, for he will not go with bad boys. 

When he goes to bed he will pray to God, 
and do the same when he gets up. 

When he gets up he will wash his hands? 
and face clean, and comb his hair. 

If he has done wrong, he will own it, and 
take care to do so no more. 

He will not play in the dirt, but keep 
clean and neat.

If he has any thing which his brothers or

A good boy will do to others, as he would 
have others do to him. 



We must be kind to the poor, and give 
them what they need, if we can. 

If you wish to be great, wise, and good, 
read with care such books as have been 
made by wise, and good men. 

A good fiook is like a good friend, it will 
teach }^ou good things. 

Bad books are like bad men, they will 
teach you wrong things, and lead you on to 
sin and death.

George is a good boy, he likes to read ? as 
well as some boys like to play. 

Ithink he will make agreat, and good man. 

Some boys think more ofa top, than they 
do of their books. 

I am sure they will not be at the head of 
their class. 

Ann is not one of those girls that play in 
school, and slight their books. 

She speaks plain, and reads well, and is 
so mild and kind, that she gains the good 
will, of all that know her. 

Jane too is a good girl ; all her friends love 
her. 

She is now but six years old, and she 
reads, and spells, as well as most girls do at 
the age of ten.

Some boys speak bad words, swear, and

hears them? 

He sees us at all times, and hears all that 
we say. 

We must do those things that please him, 
for they are right. 

It is his will that we should strive to learn, 
and grow wise. 

A parent knows what is fit for a child,

For they will try to learn you to do as 
they do. 

And people who see you with them, will 
think that you too are naughty. 

If the people with whom you live be- 
have ill, take great care not to learn their 
bad ways. 

If they see that you are good, perhaps 
they will learn to be. like you. 

Good people should not learn to do like 
bad people. 

But bad people should learn to do like 
good people. 

You should love your parents, for they 
have been very kind to you.

They have taken care of you, ever since 
you were born* 

, They loved you, and took care of you when 
you were little, and poor, and helpless. 

When you could not talk, nor walk about, 
nor do scarcely any thing but cry. 

Then you gave them a great deal of trou- 
ble, but they did not neglect you. 

Who is so kind to you as your parents ? 
or who takes so much pains to instruct* you? 

They provide food for you, an 1 clotaes, 
and warm beds to* sleep in at night. 

They are glad when you are pleased, and 
sorry when you are in trouble. 

When you are sick, andin pain, they pity 
you, and tenderly wait upon you, and nurse 
you.

And men, and women, know more than 

great boys and girls do. 

Love your brothers, and sisters ; do not 
vex them, nor call them names. 

You should never let your little hands be 
raised to strike them. 

If they have any thing which you would 
like to have, do not be angry with them, nor 
try to get it from them. 

If you have any thing which they have 
not, share it with them.

Our parents are very good to us, but God 
is better than our parents. 

God has done much for us, he gave us our 
parents, and everything that we have. 

He is not a man, he is wiser, and better 
than any man ever was, or ever will be. 

He made the sun, the moon, and the stars, 
the earth, the sky, and the waters. 

He made the trees, ajid the flowers, the 
beasts, antl the birds, the fishes, and the in- 
sects. 

But he has made us more excellent than 
the beasts, for he has gren us a soul. 

It is our souls that know God, that he is 
good, and wise, and powerful. 

The beasts do not know God, nor think 
of auy of his ways.

If we should tell them, they would not un- 
derstand us. 

Our bodies will die like the beasts, and 
they will be laid in the grave ; 

And our flesh, and our bones, will disolve, 
and mingle with the earth, 

But our souls are immortal, they will nev- 
er die. 

God orders everything, he keeps us alive, 
and can make us die when he will. 

He sees us wherever we are, by night, as 
well as by day. 

He knows all that we do, of say, or think; 
there is nothing which he does not know. 



When it is Spring, the little birds are very 
busy in making their nests.

Some make their nests on high trees, and 
some on the ground. 

Some make their nests in the woods, and 
others, in the fields, and meadows. 

Some build on the rails of a fence, while 
others search for a hole, in the limb of a tree. 

Some nests are made in thick bushes, and 
briers ; and others, in houses, barns and 
chimneys. 

Some, with much labour peck holes in 
trees that are dead, and make nests there. 

Others lay their eggs on the ground, 
without making any nest at all. 
Now, boys, if you find any nests, do not rob 
them of their eggs, nor of their young ones. 

You may look at the little birds, in the 
nests, but do not hurt them.

You would not like to be taken away from 
your father, and mother, and home : 

So you must not take the little birds away 
from their soft, warm nests. 

You cannot feed them so well as the old 
birds can, nor take so good care of them. 

Little boys, who take birds from their 
nests, soon grow tired of them, and forget 
to feed them, and then the little birds die; 

But the old birds do not forget to feed 
their young ones. 

They do not leave them till they can fly 
awav, and take care ci themselves.

*hey lie down at night, they think of him, and

Often, in the day, they think of him, and

him. 

We must pray to God, and desire him to 
forgive us, when we do wrong. 

We must ask him to put good thoughts in 
our minds, and to help us to do better. 

We must pray that he will bless us, and 
our parents, and our friends, and give us 
those things which we need. 

We should do the things which God re- 
quires us to do. 

It is his will that we should be kind to all,

When you are relating any thing, that

ly as it was : 

Do not alter any part of it, to make, as you 
may think, a prettier story. 

If you do not remember it all, say that 
you have forgotten it. 

Persons who love the truth, never tell a 
lie, even in jest. 

Think, before you make a promise, wheth- 
er you can perform it. 

For. if you say you will do any thing, and 
do it not, you tell a lie. 

And then no one will trust you, or believe 
what you say. 

If you have done wrong, do not deny it 
even to avoid being punished,

If you are sorry, and try to do so no more, 
people will very seldom be angry with you,, 
or punish you. 

They will love you for speaking the truth, 
they will think they may always believe you. 

When you see very old, and deformed 
people, you must not laugh at them, nor 
mock them. 

For though you are now so young and 
active, you may have a fall, and break your 
bones, and be lame, and deformed. 

And if you live to be old, your hair will 
become gray, and fall off. 

You will lose your teeth, and your face 
will be covered with wrinkles. 

And you will be very weak, almost like 
little children.

Aug perhaps you may bo blind, and deaf,

Would 3 ou then like to have naughty boys, 
and girls, laugh at you, and phfy you tricks'? 

No, you would want every body to be 
kind to you, and try to help you. 

Now it is winter, cold winter ; the ground 
is covered with snow, and the birds do not 
sing in the trees. 

But the days are growing longer, and it 
will soon be Spring. 

Spring is come, it is very pleasant, there 
is no snow upon the ground. 

The grass begins to grow, and look green, 
and there are buds on the trees. 

Now there will be daisies, and cowslips, 
and a great many pretty flowers. 



Soon there will be blossoms on the trees , 

1 hey will be covered with green leaves . 

w there are young lambs, and chick- 



ana 



ens and gosjmgrs. 




liie oiras now 



fill the air with their sweet 
inusick, while they fly from tree to tree. 

In the Spring the fanner ploughs his 
ground and prepares it to receive the seed. 
He rises early in the morning, and cheer- 
fully perforffis the labour of the day. 

When the ground is prepared, he sows 
■the "seed, and covers it with soft earth. 

Gentle showers cause it to spring up ; 
the warm sun also maketh. it grow. 

The Spring is past ; now it is Summer ; it 
is very warm, and the days are long. 

There will now be ripe fru t ; cherries, 
and currants, and peaches, and many other 
kinds. 

Now there will be roses that smell so 
sweet, and fine pinks. 

Hark! what noise is that? itis the mower 
whetting his scythe. 

It is hay time, he is going to cut down the 
grass, and the pretty flowers. 



45 

Let us go into the field. See, »a part of 
the grass is already cut down. 

The men and boys, with their forks, and 
rakes, are spreading it about. 

How hard they work ; come, let us help 
them make the hay. 

How sweet the hay smells ; when it is 
quite dry, it must be made into stacks. 

Hay is for sheep, and cows and horses, 
to eat, in the winter, when there is no green 
grass. 

Now is the time of wheat harvest; the 
wheat is brown, it is quite ripe. 

There are the reapers with their sharp 
sickles, they are come to reap down the 
wheat, and the rye. 

When it is dry, it must be taken to the 
barn, to be threshed. 

Then it must be sent to the mill, to be 
ground ; when it is ground, it is called flour. 

Flour is made into bread, and bread is for 
us to eat. • 

Now the summer is over, and the days 
are not so long as they were. 

There are few flowers in the fields, and 
the leaves are falling from-the trees. 

Autumn is come, and the weather begins, 
to be cool. 

The farmer now hastens to gather his 
crops, to secure them from the cold frost. 

The spring is past, and the labours of 
summer and autumn are past. 

Winter is again come, the weather is cold 3 
and now the boys may go to school

Emma's Lambs. 
1 have been looking at the lambs, said 
Emma, to her papa, one morning, and could 
not help smiling, though alone, to see them 
jump about jso. lively. 

Should you like to have one, replied her 
papa, to call }^our own ? 

Em., I should, sir, it would please me very 
much. 

Pa. Go with me then into the yard ; here 
are two pretty lambs that are twins, their 
dam is dead, and if you will take good care 
of them, they shall be yours. 

Em. I thank you, papa, I will feed them 
every day. 

Pa. But stop, my dear, I have just thought 
of your little brother.

He would delight to help you take care of 
them, and become an owner with you, will 

you give one to Henry ? 

Why that silence, my child, are you not 
willing your brother should share them with 
you? 

Em. I ought to be willing. I know, but 
I do not feel quite so. 

Pa. What shall we give then to Henry? 
I fear he will cry, when he hears you have 
two lambs, and he none. 

Em I will give him the little robin, that 
cousin James gave me the other day, and 
the cage with if. 

Fa. Ah, but that is not worth half so much 
as the lambs. 

And perhaps, if you do not let it fly away.

Henry have? 

If they were Henry's lambs, should you 
like it, if he would not give one to you ? 

Em. I think it would grieve me very much. 
Pa. You must learn then, my dear, to do 
to others, as you would like to have them do 
to you. 

Em. I will give one to Henry, with all my 
heart, I would much rather he should have 
one, than to have them both my -elf. 

Pa. I am glad to see you so willing, my 
child ; Henry will now be as happy as your- 
self, while you walk together, and call your 
little lambs by wha tever n ames you please. 

Come, let us praise God, for he is very 
great, let us bless God, for he is very good.

He made all things, the sun to rule by 
day, and the moon to rule by night, 

He made the great whale, and the ele- 
phant , and the little worm, that crawleth on 
the ground, 

The little birds sing praises to God, when 
they warble sweetly in the green shade. 

The brooks and rivers praise God, as 
they murmur melodiously among the smooth 
pebbles. 

I will praise God with my voice, for I 
may praise him, though I am but a little 
child. 

A few years ago, I was a little infant, and 
my tongue was dumb within my mouth ; 

And I did not know the great name of 
God, for my reason was not come unto me.

wings of the hen, and are at rest ; the hen 
herself is at rest also. 

The little birds have ceased their warbling, 
they are at rest on the boughs of the trees. 

There is no. hum of bees around the hive, 
or among the sweet flowers. 

They have done their work, and lie close 
in their waxen cells. 

The sheep rest upon their soft fleeces, 
and their loud bleating, is no more heard 
among the hills. 

There is no sound of voices, or of chil- 
dren at play ; no trampling of busy feet, of 
people, running to and fro. 

The noise of the smith's hammer is not 
heard, nor the harsh sound of the carpen- 
ter's saw.

People now rest in quiet on their beds, 
and the young child sleeps, in the arms of 
its mother. 

Night is spread over the sky, and dark-* 
ness covers the ground, every eye is shut, 
and every hand is still. 

Who taketh care of people when they 
sleep 1 when they cannot defend them- 
selves, nor see if danger come. 

There is an eye that never sleeps ; there 
is an eye that seeth, as well in the dark 
night, as in the day. 

The eye that sleepeth not is God's., he 
watcheth over all the families of the earth. 

When there is no light of the sun, nor of 
the moon, when there is no lamp in the 
house, his eye seeth every where.

He made sleep to refresh us when we are 
we#ry ; he made the night that we might 
sleep in quiet. 

The mother stilleth every little noise, and 
draweth the curtains round the bed of her 
infant, and shutteth out the light from its 
tender eyes. 

So God draweth the curtain of darkness 
around us, he maketh all things to be hush- 
ed and still, that his large family may sleep 
in peace. 

Labourers spent with toil, and young chil- 
dren, and every little humming insect, you 
may sleep, for God watcheth over you. 

You may sleep, for he never sleeps ; you 
may close your eyes in safety, for his. eye is 
always open to protect you.

When the darkness is passed away, and the 
morning beams return, we should begin 'the 
day with praising God, who hath kopt us 
through the night. 

Let his praise be in our hearts, when we lie 
down ; let his praise be on our lips, when we 
aw3.ke. 

The good little Girl. 

She always minds what her father and moth- 
er say to her, and takes pains to remember 
what they teach her* 
Her parents like to have her with them, for she 
does not make a noise, or give them any trouble. 

They like to talk with her, and teach her, 
and she listens to all that they say. 

When she is told of a fault, she tries to avoid 
it another time.

She likes to sit by her mother, and learn to 
sew and to knit. 

She never slights her work, but takes pains 
to do it well. 

If she does any thing wrong, or makes a 
mistake, she is very sorry. 

She is always very careful. to keep her work 
clean. 

If her hands are dirty, she washes them be- 
fore she begins her work. 

She seldom loses her thread, or her. needles, 
or any thing she works with. 

She does not stick needles in her sleeve, nor 
put pins in her mouth. 

She puts her needles in her needle book, 
and she has a pincushion for her pins. 

She takes care of her own clothes, and folds 
them up very neatly* 



06 

When she sees a hole in any of her clothes, she 
mends it, or asks her mother to have it mended. 

She does not wait till it is very large, for 

then she knows it would be more work. 

She does not like to see any thing wasted.^, 

She never throws away, or burns, crumbs 

of bread, or peelings of fruit, or small pieces of 

cloth. 

For she knows that the chickens, and little 
birds will eat the crumbs. 

And she has seen the pigs, feeding on the 
peelings of fruit. 

She knows that paper Is made of rags, so 
she saves them all. 

As soon as she is old enough, she irons her 
own clothes and makes her own bed. 

She likes to feed the chickens, and the 
young turkeys, and to give them clean water 
to drink. 

She likes to work in her little garden, to 
weed it, and to sow seeds and plant roots in it. 

She always likes to be busy, and useful, and 
will do any thing to assist her mother. 

If all little girls were so good, how much 
happier they would be. 

They would give joy to their parents, and 
comfort to all their friends. 



Do not be curious to know, what people do 
not wish to tell you. 

Do not look at their letters, or what they 
are writing, unless they give you leave. 

Do nor listen at doors, or other places, where 
the people who are talking, do not see you. 



57 
Flee from sin as thou wouklst from a serpent, 
for if thou comest near it, it. will bite thee. 

The teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, 
slaying the souls ot men. 




Some boys, one day got a pigeon, that was 
lame, and its wings being cut, it could not fly- 

So they put it clown, to be thrown at with a 
stick, that he who should knock it down should 
have it. 

But just as they were going to throw, little 
Mary came along, and begged them to stop, 
and said she would buy the bird. 

How much, said she, must I give for it ? Six 
cents, said one of the boys. 

I have but four cents, said Mary ; take all 
my money ; I do not want the bird ; but do 
not use it ill. 

How should we like to be thrown a with 
sticks, and stones ? 

The poor birds can feel pain, as well as boys 
and girls ; And it is not right, for sport, to hurt 
any of God's creatures ; we should use them 
with mercy. 

So they took Mary's money, and gave her 
the bird. These were cruel boys.

A little that a righteous man hath, is better 
than the riches of many wicked. 

For the arm of the wicked shall be broken ; 
but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. 

The steps of a good man are ordered by the 
Lord, and he delighteth in his way. 

Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast 
down ; for the Lord upholdelh him with his 
hand. 

I hare been young, but now am old; yet 
have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor 
his seed begging bread. 

Mark the perfect man ; and behold the up- 
jight : for the end of that man is peace.

The good Scholar. 

A good scholar always likes to go to school. 

He will never miss a day when his parents 
will let him go* 

He never goes to school with dirty hands* 
or a dirty face, or long nails. 

When he is at school he sits, or stands in his 
own place. 

He does not take the other scholars 5 things 
nor put them out of place. 

When strangers come into the school, he 
does not stare at them, but minds his study. 

He never whispers, or pl r ays, in school, for 
he knows his teacher would not like it. 

His parents and teacher wants him to learn, 
and he alw ays tries to please them. 

When the scholars, in his class, are reading*

* This word 


and its compounds are pronounced as if written shurs 



or reciting, he is very attentive, and learns a 
great deal by hearing them. 

When he reads, or recites, he is very careful 
to speak his words plain. 

If he writes he keeps his paper quite clean, 
and is very sorry when he makes a blot. 

When he does not understand his lessons, he 
asks his teacher to explain it to him. 

But he does not interrupt him when he is very 
busy. 

When he has a hard lesson, he begins it 
quick, for he says, the sooner I go about it, the 
sooner it will be done* 

He is very kind to all the little scholars, and 
takes care not to hurt them. 

He tells them what to do, and how to be- 
have, and takes pains to teach them.

When 


he hears c 


hildren teJI lies, or s 


peak bad 



words, he tells them how wicked it is, and re- 
quests them to do so no more. 

When school is out, he goes directly home, 
and does not play by the way, as bad boys do. 

Come, let us go into the thick shade, for 
it is noon, and the summer sun beats hot up- 
on our heads. 

The shade is pleasant, and cool, and the 
branches, like a curtain, meet over our 
heads, and shut out the sun. 

The grass is soft to our feet, and a clear 
brook washes the roots of the trees. 

The cattle lie down to sleep in the shade, 
but we can do what is better, we can praise 
the God who made us.

Yes • for he heareth us when we only

our praises to him that teaches us to speak. 

When we could not think of him, he 
thought of us ; before we could ask him to 
bless 'us, he had already 
blessings. 

He fashioneth our tender limbs, andcaus- 
eth them to grow ; he maketh us strong, 
and nimble. 

The buds spring into leaves, and the blos- 
soms swell to fruit ; but they know not how 
they grow, nor who causeth them to spring 
up. 

Ask them if they will tell thee ; bid them 
break forth into singing, and fill the air with 
pleasant sounds. 

They smell sweet ; they loolc beautiful ; 
but they cannot speak ; and there is no 
voice among the green leaves.

The young goslings are running about on 
the green ; their bodies are covered with 
yellow down, and the old geese hiss if any 
one comes near. 

The young lambs are in the fields, they 
totter by the sides of their dams, their fee- 
ble limbs can hardly support them. 

If you fall, little lambs, you will not be 
hurt, there is spread under you a carpet of 
soft grass. 

The butterflies flutter from flower to flow- 
er, and open their wings in the warm sun. 

The young animals of every kind are 
sporting about, they are brisk and joyful, 
they seem glad to be alive. 

The birds can sing, and the young iambs 
can bleat, but we can open our lips in praise

JLlmira and Jane. 

Almira was a very thoughtful girl ; she 
took delight in viewing the beauties of na- 
ture, and for this purpose, often took a walk 
near the close of the day. 

On her return, one fine evening, she was 
accosted by Jane, who, though younger 
than herself, was always pleased with Al- 
mira's company. . 

After inquiring where she had been, and 
looking at the lilies she had gathered, Jane 
requested the pleasure of walking with her, 
the next day.

Almira did not forget, but having obtained 
leave, (rather earlier than usual that they 
might have the more time to converse) pro- 
ceeded on her walk. 

Jane had already informed her Mother 
of what had passed, and made request, that - 
she, and her little brother, might join Almi- 
ra in her ramble. 

Her Mama was very willing, and said, 
as she was about to go, do not forget, my 
child, that it is God, who permits you to en- 
joy so many pleasures. 

By this time Almira had arrived, and Jane 3 
and George were ready to go with her. 

It was a fine day, and all around seemed 
to inspire them with delight. 

Almira and Jane soon began to converse, 
and little George listened with attention. 



68 

How pleasant it is, said Jane, to see the 
earth, decked so gaily, the grass so fresh 
and green ; and do see the little lambs yon- 
der, 

J1L O yes, emblems of innocence, how 
sweetly they play ; the musick of the birds 
also affords me much pleasure ; do you not 
like to hear it? 

Ja. I do, but I suppose I have never list- 
ened to it so much as you have. 

Jll. Indeed, I sometimes rise very early 
on purpose to hear them ; but I do not say 
right, I rise because their sweet notes seem 
to say ; Awake, and give thanks too. 

The same God that made them, and teach- 
es them to sing, made us, and takes care 
of us. 

J a. And bestows on us many blessings 
which they never knew. 

Geo. But how can you say so, sister, I 
think the birds are very happy, and some- 
times wish, that, like them, I could skip 
from bough to bough. 

Ja. Why, George, they know but very 
little, they were never taught to read, as we 
have been. 

JLL Nor did they ever hear of heaven, but 
we, if we love the Lord, and obey him, 
may hope to be happy here, and happy in 
the world to come. 

Geo. Now I see the folly of my wishes, I 
think I shall never, again, desire to be a bird, 
I would much rather learn to read, and be- 
come wise. 

Ja. Have we not yet arrived at the extent 
of your walk Alinira? 



m 

M. Yes ; this is the very place where I 
gathered the lilies. 

On the banks of a little rivulet, I admire 
to sit, among the shrubs, or under the shade 
of some of these willows. 




Ja. George j I believe is de 



__hted by look- 
ing into the brock ; what do you see George? 

Geo. Some frogs, and: a great many little 
fishes ; I wish I had brought my hook and 
line, I believe I could catch some. 

Ja. But, put in your hand, and catch some, 
they will not hurt you. 

Geo. But they are so shy, and ninaMe, 0al 3 
before I can touch them, they dart away. 

As they walked along the side of the 
stream, viewing the beauties of nature, and 
listening to the melody of the birds, Jane be- 
gan to be very pensive : 

I have been thinking, said she, that the 
God who made, and takes care of all these 
things, must be very great, and very good. 

JLl. He- is so, indeed ; 
©ur praise.

If he makes this earth so pleasant, 
what must heaven be ? I suppose it will be 
a much happier place than this. 

Al. What does the word of God say ? 
Eye hath not seen, neither has it entered 
into the heart of man, to conceive the glory, 
that shall be revealed in that world. 

O may we meet in heaven ; we shall then 
be happy indeed ; we shall never grow 
weary of admiring the goodness of God. 

The evening drew on, and they return- 
ed home ■; little George being so well 
pleased, that he related the whole story to 
his papa.

Behold the shepherd of the flock he taketh 
care for the sheep, he leadeth them among 
clear brooks, he guideth them to fresh pas- 
tures. 

If the young lambs are weary he carries 
them in his arms, if they wander he bring- 
eth them back : 

But who is the shepherd's shepherd ? who 
taketh care of him ? who guideth him in the 
path he should walk 1 and if he wander, 
who will bring him back ? 

God is the shepherd's sjhepherd, he is 
the shepherd over all, he taketh care for 
all ; the whole earth is his fold, and we are 
his flock. • 

The, mother lovetli her little child, she 
bringeth it up on her knees.

She nourisheth its body with food, she 
feedeth its mind with knowledge. 

When it is sick she nurseth it with ten- 
der love ; she watches over it when it is 
asleep. 

But who is the parent of the mother % 
who nourishes her with good things ? 

Whose arms are about her to keep her 
from harm ? and if she be sick, who shal 
heal her? 

God is the parent of the mother ; he is 
the parent of all ; for he created all. 

Ail the men, and all the women in the 
world, are his children, he loves them all, 
he is good to all. 5 

God is our shepherd, and we will follow 
him ; he is our father ; we will love and 
obey him*

shall not grieve any more, nor be sick any 
more, nor do wrong anymore. 

There the cold of winter will not wither 
us, nor the heat of summer scorch us. 

There we shall meet, with all that are 
good ; with all that have served the Lord 
on the earth. 

There we shall see Jesus-, who is gone

we shall behold the glory "of the high God.

him ; we must now be in this world, but 
we will often think of heaven ;

be here but a little while ; but there we 
shall be forever ; even for ages of eternal 
years.

Extracts from Christ's Sermon. 

And Jesus opened his mouth, and taught 
the people, saying : 

Btessed are the poor in spirit ; for theirs i» 
the kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are they that mourn ; for they 
shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek : for they shall in- 
herit the earth. 

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst af- 
ter righteousness ; for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful ; for they shall 
obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in heart ; for they 
shall see God. 

Blessed are the peace makers ; for they 
shall be called the children of God.

Think not that I am come to destroy the 
law, or the prophets ; I come not to destroy, 
but to fulfil. 

Ye have heard that it hath been said? 
Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shal c 
perform unto the Lord thine oaths. 

-But I say unto you, Swear not at all ; 
neither by heaven, for it is God's throne. 

Neither shalt thou swear by the earth, for 
it is his footstool. 

Nor by thy head, for thou canst not make 
one hair white or blaok. 

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine 
enemy. 

But I say unto you. Bless them that curse 
you, do good to them, that hate you.

That ye may be the children of your fa- 
ther, who is in heaven. 

For he maketh hk sun to rise on the evil, 
and on the good ; and &endeth rain on the 
just, and on the unjust. 

When you pray, use not vain repetitions, 
as the heathen do ; for they think they shall 
be heard for their much speaking. 

Be not ye like them, for your father know- 
eth what things ye need, before ye ask him. 

After this manuer, therefore, pray ye : Our 
Father who art in heaven ; Hallowed be thy 
name. 

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on 
earth as it is in heaven. 

v Give us this day our daily bread ; and for- 
give us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Behold the fowls of the air; they sow not; 
neither do they reap ; nor gather into barns. 

Yet your heavenly Father feedeth them ; 
are ye not much better than they ? 

And why take ye thought for raiment ? con- 
sider the lilies of the field , how they grow T 4hey

And yet I say unto you, that Solomon, in 
all his glory, was not arrayed like oneot these. 

And if God so clothe the grass, which to-

much more clothe you ? O ye of little faith. 

Therefore be not anxious, sayings what shall 
we eat 1 or what shall we drink ? or where- 
withal shall we be clothed ? 

For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye 
have need of these things.

happy life* 

Happiness is not found in the veins of the 
earth, where we dig £for gold ; but in a pure 
and untainted mind.

Every man has a judge and witness, within 
himself of all the good, and evil, that he does. 

Wickedness may escape the law ; but it 
cannot escape the conscience. 

It is not the posture of the body, nor the 
softness of the bed, that will give rest to an un- 
easy mind. 

Let him that would know himself, set aside 
Jiis money, his fortnue, and his dignity, and 
view himself naked. 

It must be a change of mind, not of the cli- 
mate, that will remove the heaviness of the 
heart. 

That which we call our own, is but lent to us. 

What fortune gives one hour, she may take 
away the next. 

Death spares - the palace, no more than the 
cottage. 



84 

A pioos and gentle friendship, is the effect of 
■one of the most generous/and charming virtues. 

Ke v'Al he subject to mistake, that makes 
a friend in prosperity, or tries him at a feast. _ 

A friendship of interest can last no longer 
than the interest itself. 



It is with time, as with money, good man- 
agement makes a little go a great way. 

But if the estate of a prince fall into the 
hands of a prodigal, it is soon wasted. 

We should make the best use of time, while 
we have it ; for it will not last always. 

We should so live that life may not be tire- 
some, nor death terrible. 

It is the duty oi life, to prepare ourselves for 
death. 

There is not an hour we live, but may re- 
mind us of our mortality. 
Let us live as if every day were to be our last. 

Why should we wonder -if that befall us to- 
day, which may happen at any time. 

It is in every one's power to live well ; but 
in no. one's power to prolong life. 

He who has led. a wicked life, is afraid of his 
own memory. 

On some occasions it requires more courage- 
to live, than to die. 

Anger occasions a loss of time, as well as of 
peace. 

Storms and tempests form in the lower parts 
of the air, while al! above is quiet, and serene. 

Anger resteth in the bosom of fools, but 
a man of exalted mind, is superior to it.

There are oo greater slaves, than those who 
serve anger. 

A good and wise man, is not the enemy 
of wicked men, but the reprover of them. 

He that has fevenge in his power, and 
does not use it, is a great man. 

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as la- 
bour does the body. 

* It is much easier to check our passions in 
the beginning, than to stop them in their 
course. 

The pleasures of sense, at best, are short 
lived ; but the delights of virtue are secure 
and perpetual. 

Men would often be ashamed of their 
best actions, were the world to witness the 
motives which produce them,

Come, little children, let-jus speak of God ; 
let us speak of him ; for he is here, and he 
is also afar off. 

He is in the wind, and in the tempest ; 
in the light, and in the darkness ; in an at- 
om, and in a world. 

His presence filleth the whole universe ; 
and his ear is open to the cries of all crea- 
ted things. 

He heareth the cheerful song of the lark, 
at the early dawn ; and the hum of the 
young bee that fiuttereth around the rose. 

He heareth the bleating of the lamb, and 
attendeth to the lowing of the ox : he pro-

The earth is assigned us for a dwelling;

The sun, like a golden lamp, is hung 
out in the etherial vault, and pours his ef- 
fulgent rays all the day, to enlighten our 
paths. 

When night approaches, the moon takes 
up the friendly office ; and the stars appear, 
in twinkling myriads, to cheer the darkness 
with their milder lustre. 

The clouds, besides the rich painting they 
hang around the heavens, act the part of a 
shifting screen, and defend us by their 
seasonable interposition, from the scorching 
beams of summer.

The stormy tempests proclaim it ; the

raised to the very clouds ; the trees laden 
with fruit ; the flower garden, and the rose

The feathered fowls ; the bleating flocks ; 
the grazing herd ; the stag in the forest ; the 
yrorm in the earth; and the whale which dash-

They are objects of real contempt.

Summer morning in a Flower Garden. 

What sweets are these, which so agreea- 
bly salute my nostrils ? they are the breath 
of the flowers, the incense of the garden. 

How liberally does the jessamine dis- 

J^ense her odorifeous riches ! how delieious-

ing walk ! the air is* all perfume. 

And is not this a most engaging induce- 
ment to forsake thefced of sloth? 

Who would lie dissolved in senseles slum- 
bers, while so many breathing sweets invite 
to*a feast of fragrancy ? 




See the gardener ! how diligently he works* 
how pleasant his task. 

The productions of the spot will amply 
repay his labour, while his fancy is employ- 
ed, and his mind amused, in making the ar- 
rangement agreeable. 

In one part we see squares, neatly laid 
out in beds, and planted with vegetables of 
various kinds. 

In another we are delighted with pleas-

The butterfly alighteth thereon, and bees 
gather honey from its expanded flowers. 

When the flowers decay, and the petals 
fall off; when the leaves grow yellow with 
age ; then do the fruit and seed appear. 

The birds of the air delight in its branch- 
es, and the beasts of the field feast on its 
fruits. 

Even men are nourished by eating there- 
of; and numbers of insects feed on its leaves.

Come* litrie children* attend to the admo- 
nition of your father, and be mindful of the 
instuction of your mother, 

Give ear unto theif words, for they are 
spoken for your good ; remember their ad- 
vice, for it proceedetn from love. 

Behold the bee, and the ant, they teach us. 
industry ; they labour in summer, and lay up 
a store for whiter 

The stork attends upon his feeble parent ; 
convey eth her from danger, and seekethfood 
for her support. 

The young foal knoweth its dam, and the 
lamb its own mother ; even the bear loveth 
her own whelps, and they imitate her actions 
with delight. 

The hen gathereth her chickens under 



06 

her wings ; she seeketh diligently for their 
food. 

Although she cannot speak, her voice is 
intelligible to their ears ; and for their ben- 
efit she calleth unto them. 

But who hath taught the bee, or the ant 
to labour ? Who hath told them that winter's 
cold succeeds to summers heat ? 

Who hath taught the young stork to be 
careful of its parent ? or the hen to provide 
for her chickens 1 

Who hath taught the bear to love her 
whelps ? or who hath instructed the horse 
to know his feeder? 

It is God ; it is he who feedeth the birds of 
the air, and decketh the fields with flowers. 

His goodness is over all his works ; just 
and true are all his ways ; and will he not 
teach you, O, ye little children ! 

Yes, he hath promised that he will 
teach you ; listen therefore to his commands, 
and, when you hear, obey. 



Admonish a friend ; it may be he hath not 
done it ; and if he have, that he will do it no 
more 

Admonish thy friend ; it may be he hath 
not said it ; aud if he have, that he will say 
it no more* 

Admonish a friend ; for many times it is 
a slander : and believe not every tale. 

Watch over thy speech ; for much good, 
or much evil, may be done by die words of 
thy mouth. 

If thou blow the spark, it will burn, if thou 
Spit upon it, it will be quenched.

How shall they endure the scorching 
heat ? or how can the earth bring forth fruit ? 

Some passing clouds assuage the exces- 
sive heat; refreshing gales descend from the 
lofty mountains ; and at noon, fresh breezes 
arise from the ocean, which purify the air. 

The ground yieldeth an abundant increase ; 
and fruits ana herbs, in constant succession, 
cover the face ot the vallies. 

There the terrors of the Lord are known ; 
there, in the awfulness of his power, he ma- 
keth his greatness manifest. 

The storms descend from the tops of the 
mountains, and the thunder is heard in 
dreadful peals. 

The lightning blazeth through the air, and 
the ram descends in torrents. 

The roaring of the wind is heard from afar ;

the trees are torn from the earth, and houses

The mountains 'moke ; the rocks are rent; 
the earth quaiLetfa, and gapeth wide. 

But in a little while, he who formed the 
heavens and the earth, causeth all to be still. 

The whole face of nature smileth again, 
and his mercies are extended to men. 

The flowers send forth their fragrant 
sweets, and refresh the inhabitants of the 
land. 



Have patience with a man in low estate, 
and dekiy not to show him mercy. 

man sfew no mercy to his neighbour,

There is nothing of so much worth, as a

Many ways are used by different people 
to facilitate the labour of travelling, and con- 
veying heavy articles from place to place. 

Horses, and other animals, are trained, to 
carry people and burdens on their bacis, 
and to draw various kinds of carriages. 

But where it can be practiced, we krio v 
of no method more convenient, than that of 
going by water, in vessels and boats. 




Boats are usedior crowing rivers, g^in^; 
to market, catching fish, and many utner 
purposes : 

And they form -a very pleasant and agree- 
able mode of going from place to place, ac- 
ross the water, when the distance is not great. 

And in large ships we may cross the ocean, 
and visit the most distant parts of the earth. 

In going short distances, small boats are 
made to pass through the water, by means of 
paddies or oars. 

But some boats, and all large vessels, 
have sails ; and the wind blows themswifdy 
and gently along. 

It is very pleasant to sail on the water,but 
children should never venture in boats alone.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that 

do business in great waters ; these see the 

work of the L6rd,and his wonders in the deep. 

For he comnuiiideth, and raiseth the stormy 

wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof: 

They mount up to the heaven ; they go 
down again to the depths ; their soul is mel- 
ted because of trouble. 

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a 
drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 

Then they cry unto the Lord in their troub- 
le, and lie bringeth them out of their distress. 

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the 
waves are still. 
Then are they glad, because they be quiet ; 
so be bringeth them to their desired haven. 

Oh that men would praise the Lord for 
his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 
the children oi men.

And so you do not like to spell, 
Mary, my dear ; O very well ; 
'Tis dull and troublesome you say ; 
And you had rather be at play. 

Then bring me all your books again :— - 
Nay ; Mary, why do you complain? 
For as you do not choose to read, 
You shall not have your books, indeed. 

So as you wish to be a dunce, 
Pray go and fetch me them at once ; 
For if you will not learn, to spell, 
? Ti? vain to think of reading well 

Now, don't you think, you'll blush to own, 
When you become a woman grown, 
Without one good excuse to plead, 
That you have never learn'd to read ? 

O dear, Mama, said Mary then, 
Do let me have my books again, 
I'll not fret any more indeed, 
If vou will let me learn to read.

THE VIOLET. 

Down in a green, and shady bed, 

A modest vioJet grew ; 
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, 

As if to hide from view. 

And yet it was a lovely flow'r, 
Its colours bright and fair : 

It might have grae'd a rosy bow'r, 
Instead of hiding there. 

Yet there it was content to bloom, 

In modest tints array'd ; 
And there it spread its sweet perfume, 

Within the silent shade. 

Then let me to the valley go, 

This pretty flow'r to see ; 
That I may also learn to grow, 

In sweet humility. 



105 

THE ORPHAN. 

My father and mother are dead, 
No friend or relation I have ; 

And now the cold earth is their bed, 
And daisies grow over their grave. 

I cast mv eyes into the tomb : 
1 he sight made me bitterly cry : 

I said, and is this the dark room, 

Where my father and mother must lie? 

I cast my eyes round me again, 
In hopes some protector to see ; 

Alas ! but the search was in vain, 
For none had compassion on me. 

I cast mv eves up to the skv, 

I groan'd, though I said not a word ; 

Yet God was not deaf to my cry ; 
The friend of the fatherless heard, 

. O yes, and he graciously siniM, 
And bid me -on him to depend ; 

-He whisper'd— fear net, little child, 
For I am thy father and friend. 

DE\TH OF VSi i\-'ANT. 

How solemn did. the moment seem. 

When from its tender parents 9 love ; 
Death's .chili3 r hand, to worlds unseen, 

A lovely infant, did remove. 

One hour what -beauty deck'd its face ! 

What blending smiles 5 wiih white and red ! : , 
A moment, and its- lovely grace., 

And all its active powers. are fled. 

Who could behold with tearless eye, 

And witness such a heartfelt scene ! 
Born just to -weep, and smile, and die, 

Nor understand waat pleasures mean !

Its gentle voice no more is heard ; 

JN o more its infant wants made known ; 
Its spirit has retura'd to God, 

Its dust lies silent in the to nb. 

Though silent, yet, it seems to say, 
In tintieard words of deep reply : 

Though longer on the earth you stay, 
Parents, and Mends, you too must die. 

Obedient to his high command, 

Who formed me lirst, and gave me breath; 
I ealy ha&>ie, and meekly beiid, 

To taste the bitter cup of death. 

Mourn not, nor longer grieve to see, 
One who enjoyed your fondest care ; 

Only expect to loiiow me, 
And for tao dreadful caange prepare.

See the leaves, around us falling, 
Dry and withered to the ground ; 

Thus to thoughtless mortals calling* 
With a sad and solemn sound. 

Youth, though yet no losses grieve you* 
Gay in health and manly grace, 

Let not cloudless skies deceive you*. 
Summer gives to autumn place. 

Yearly in our course recurring, 
Messengers o shortest stay, 

Thus we preach this truth unerring, 
Heav'n and earth shall pass away. 

On the tree of life eternal, 

Man, let all thy hopes be staid ; 

TV hich alone, for ever vernal, 
Bears a ieai that ne'er shall fade,

GEORGE AND H*S MOTHER* 

Ma. George, you have done extremely ill 
- In staying from your school to day ; 
And what is still much worse, I hear, 
You've been with naughtv boys to play 
Geo. Well 1 don't like to go ; mama ; 
Tom Willis never goes to school ; 
And always when he sees me go, 

He says I am alittle fool. [Brown, 

Ma. George, have you seen poor Philip 

The beggar man, with wooden legs ; 

Who hobbles on two crutches round, 

And stops at every door and begs ? 

Geo. O yes, .mama, 1 know him well, 

And shocking 'tis indeed to see, 

A human being on the eaith, 

In such distress and poverty. 

Ma, Poor man, I also know him well, 

When he was young and gay like you ; 
He was his father 5 ;- dearest hope, :

His father was a lab'ring man, 

And Philip was a sprightly boy ; 
And how to educate him well, 

Did many an anxious thought employ. 
We'll give him learning, wife, said ne> 

And so they sent him to school : 
But after he had been a while, 

His love of books began to cool. 
He hated studying all the time, 

And play'd with every boy he could : 
His father talk'd, his mother wept, 

But all did not make Philip good. 
One time some wicked fellows said, 

Come, Philip, we are going off, 
We'll hide till folks are gone to bed, 

And then we can get fruit enough. 
Philip agreed to go with them, 

And so they all went off at night : 
His parents knew not where he was ; 

And they were almost wild with fright. 



110 



it ten o'clock, some men and boys 
Brought Philip in upon abed : 
mother caught a hasty look ; 
He 's dead, she screamed, my child is dead 







No, said a man, he is not dead, 

But he has met a heavy stroke ; 
lie climb'd my wall ; a weighty stone 

Fell off, and both his legs are broke. 
The surgeon came and cut them off; 

Bis friends could give him no relief: 
His parents mourird their lives away, 

And sunk, and died with hopeless grief. 
An almshouse now, was Philip's home, 

And sad enough, poor boy, he far'd ; 
Whole nights he lay, and groan'd with pain. 

But no one knew, and no one car'd. 
At length, when many a tedious month 

Had pass'd, they made him wooden legs, 
And now with crutches for his help, 

He hobbles round the street, and begs. 
Sxeo. Where's my hat ? I'll ofi' to school 

This instant, and you shaVt complain 
About my playing truant, Ma, 

Or seeking idle boys again. 



Explanation of the pauses and other mark:- 

, A comma, requires that the reader s:op, while he cdVi i 
pronounce one syllable- 

; A se.nicjljn, req nres double the pause of a con rtt. 

: A colon, requires that the reader stop while be could pi> 
nounce three syllables- 

% A pfciod, rimshes a sentence, and rerruires a fall of tu3 
voice, and a pause equal to the time of proaoaad 
four syllables. 

1 An interrogation point, is placed after a question } as. 
Who is thai ? 

! An exclamation point, is placed after a wiri or ss:v 
tence expressing wonder, surprise, joy, or any si i ie u 
and violent emotion of the mind. 

These two points, require a pause equal to that of tfia pa« 
riod, but no fall of the voice. 

( ) A parenthesis, includes an occasional reunrk, vluch 
serves to illustrate the author's meaning, but is not ne- 
cessary for the grammatical construction of tie sen. 
tence : — It should be read quicker and with a lower 
tone of voice* 

' An apostrophe, marks the possessive case, as, John's 
book : or, it denotes a contraction, as us'd for used ; 
I'll fir '-offl. 

:i " A quotation includes a passage taken from some oth- 
er author in i^ oxn words. 

- A hyphen, shows that the syllables separated by it, bo- 
long together ; it is used mostly when words are divi- 
ded at the end of a line- 

A Fhe caret, is used only in writing ; it shows the place 
where a letter word, or sentence, omitted by mistake, 
should be inserted. 

' The accent, shows that the greatest stress of voice 
should be on the syllable ov r which it is placed. 

— A dash, placed before a quotation, shows that only a 
part of a sentence is quoted; between letters, it 
shows that part of the word is omitted, as, K — g for 
king : at the end of a sentence, it denotes an abrupt 
pause- 

fgj" An index, points to a remarkable passage, 

U" \ paragraph, begins a new subject. 

*| ! An asterisk, and other references, point to a note in 

the margin, or at the foot of a paze. 
[] Crotchets, include a word or sentence inserted for ex- 
planation-
